Quotes

 * A man who will misuse an apostrophe is capable of anything.


 * Paddy dashed back towards his goal like a woman who smells a cake burning. The ball won the race and it curled inside the near post as Paddy crashed into the outside of the net and lay against it like a fireman who had returned to find his station ablaze.
 * The Evening Press, 25 September 1978. As reprinted in the Irish Independent following Houlihan's death.
